I am using the following array in Javascript and it works perfectly when I use the slice command to access variables
dataSequence = [
{
name: 'Week 1',
data: [1, 2, 2, 1, 1, 2, 2,5]
}, {
name: 'Week 2',
data: [6, 12, 2, 3, 3, 2, 2,6]
}
];
Then when I use this PHP script via Ajax to show the same data.
$out = "[
{
name: 'Week 1',
data: [1, 2, 2, 1, 1, 2, 2,5]
}, {
name: 'Week 2',
data: [6, 12, 2, 3, 3, 2, 2,6]
}
]";
echo $out;
here is my Ajax call
$.ajax({
url: "gettimedata1.php",
type: 'POST',
}).done(function(msg) {
dataSequence = msg;
data = dataSequence[0].data.slice();
});
It throws the message "Cannot read property 'slice' of undefined".
What do I need to do to format the PHP output correctly ?
Thanks
I believe this is the correct way to output json from PHP
$a = array(
array('name' => 'week1', 'data' => [1, 2, 2, 1, 1, 2, 2, 5]),
array('name' => 'week2', 'data' => [6, 12, 2, 3, 3, 2, 2, 6])
);
$json = json_encode($a);
header('Content-Type: application/json');
echo $json;
You should then be able to:
$.ajax({
url: "gettimedata1.php",
type: 'POST'
}).done(function(response) {
data = response[0].data.slice();
});
You may have to fiddle with the PHP a little I do not have a PHP environment to test on and its been a few years since I last coded in it.
